Protecting Regular Site Files

1. Go to following directory within the “dap” folder on your desktop:

dap > client > website
2. Copy the file .htaccess from this folder into the root directory of your web site. [Root directory is where your home page (say, index.html) is].

Creating a Product


So just how easy is it to create a Product in DAP? Incredibly easy, as you will see below.

Product Name:

Obviously, this is the name you give your product. So if you are creating a product (subscription-based, or one-time purchase) about how to make money online, then you would call it “How to make money online”. This name will be used by DAP on various screens, emails and reports. So, name it something intuitive, and not something cryptic.

Description:

Use this to expand on what your product does. This field is used on auto-generated error pages and such.

Sales Page URL (optional):

When a user who doesn’t have access to the links in this product, DAP can show her a default error page (see “Error Page URL” below), and on that error page, it will say something to the effect of “Sorry, you don’t have access to this Product. You have to purchase access to it first.” and then the link to this “Sales Page URL” will be shown, which the user can then follow to read your sales page and then purchase the product.

Error Page URL (optional):

Default value: /dap/product-error.php

If you use the default value above, then DAP will show the default error page when a user tries to access a URL that she doesn’t have access to yet, URL to which access has expired, or she hasn’t purchased the product of which the URL is a part of.

Is this a recurring product?

Pick “Yes” or “No” depending on if this product is a recurring product for which you expect periodic payments to come in.

If you pick “No”, then when the user purchases this product (or you give her direct access from the admin area), then the user is given access from Day 1 to Day 9999.

Price

Enter the price of your product, regardless of whether it is one-time or recurring. This data is not used by DAP currently. In the future, this may be used for payment validation purposes.

Billing Cycle

Applicable only if recurring is set to yes. If this is a recurring product, then you need to enter how often billing is done (in days). So, if your product is available for a monthly subscription, then enter “30″ (as in, billing occurs once every “30″ days).

Product Status

If you want to temporarily remove access for all users to all URL’s in this product, then change the status to “Inactive”.

3rd Party Notification Email Ids

If you want DAP to send email notifications to 3rd party email addresses (like autoresponder services, or JV partners), then enter one or more email addresses here - separate multiple email addresses by a comma.

Every time a user subscribes (paid or free) to this product, an email is sent out by DAP to all these email addresses - the “from name” is the subscriber’s name, and the “from email” is the subscriber’s email address

This is very useful for automatically adding your subscriber to a 3rd party list service that has a “subscribable” email address - like yourautoresponder@1siteautomation.com or subscribe@yourlist.com .

Once you fill out the fields, click on the “Save/Update Product” button to save the changes.

Use the same form to make changes to the fields as well.
